ONE of the planks in the Ohio re-
publican platform reads as follows
"We demand a free ballot and a fair
count in all sections of the country"
We don't see how anybody could
have anything agin that" We
know of no place where everybody
has not a free ballot and a fair count
since that Tilden and Hayes business
in 1876, unless it be in the North,
where the laboring man must vote
the ticket his purse-proud, high-tarifl
aristocratic nabob Of a protected man
ufacturer, who has obtained his
riches by skinning the poor with the

you republicans give us free ballot
and we will give you fair count.

everybody alike.

THERE is a very strong disposition
shown by the colored people to emf
CRATE to Liberia. If God has decreed
that they should return to Africa to
civilize that benighted but heaven
favored continent, the embarrassing
problem of the future Of the colored

forever to his credit, and he need no
more entertain a feeling of mortifica-
tion and discomfort because placed in
a position of social and political in
fefiority and inequality. The high

exalted social position would be at

Mr.. CLEVELAND has respectfully
and modestIy intimated to the am
bilious cities which are sending large
delegations this hot weather, at great
expense, to invite him to visit their
cities, that all this parade is unneces-
sary, and that as much consideration
will be extended to a written invita-
tion communicated by mail as to Il
delegation Of one hundred men.
This is another centre shot, and
should convince aspiring and per-
spring politicians that the successor
of President Cleveland is too modest
a man to appreciate such extravagant
demonstrations of enthusiasm with
the Thermometer in the nineties.

Tupelo, Miss, of a most cowardly
and dastardly outrage perpetrated
by a negro fiend upon an aged white
lady in that town on the night of

the Mobile and Ohio train which
reaches Tupelo at II p. m. She
lives in the most popular part of the

for her, ventured to walk home
alone. Just before reachingq home,
she was knocked on the head, and
ravished by the negro, who made
his escape. A large posse of infuri-
ated citizens are in pursuit Of the
scoundrel, and, if captured, he will
go up by way of the hempen ex-
press.

THE news papers still continue
every day to assure us that Jay
Gould is not ill. 1t has been re-
peated about the fortieth time.
This will be very gratifying news
to the public. And the mendacious
and fiendish wretch who started the
report that Jay Gould was ill, thus
alarming his numerous friends and
admirers, and rendering it necessary,
in order to quiet their nerves, to
reiterate the daily assurance of his
convalescence, ought to be lynched
without mercy.

violently on the outside Of quart of

attempted to assault Miss Alice Chap

work. The lady seized a pistol,
aimed it point blank at Jones, and
pulled trigger. The probabilities are
very strong that he will imbibe no
more bed-bug poison, nor attempt a

A MAN named Edmonson applied
to the city authorities of Chicago for
license for a show in which he is to
jump from a balloon to the ground, a
distance of 5000 feet, by means of a
parachute. He was informed that
that city did not grant license to pee
pie to committe suicide. He has per-
formed the feat successfully several
times, and will probably go out side
of the city limits and take his leap.
They ought to let him jump. 1t is
only question of time.

THE news from Halifax discloses
the notifying fact that seamen,
calling themselves American citizens,
are extensively engaged in poach-
ing, at Prince Elward's Island, in
direct violation of treaty stipulations
between the United States govern
ment and that of Great Britain. If
the American name is. to be tar
nished, and tbs national character
disgraced by stealing fish, then some
of the scoundrels, who have been
caught and captured in the fact
should apply to the United States
government for protection, other
wise we hope the last one Of them
may be swept out of sight by the
British cruisers. The fish were
caught by slyly slipping within the
limits in which fish are protected to
the citizens of Canada by public law
and treaty stipulations, and these
depredations, consequently, were
neither more nor less than plain,
direct, absolute, unequivocal and
unmitigated larceny, and deserve
the most condign punishment.

THE Republican party in the
North have shown a disposition, in
spite of better information, when
ever the republican voters in the
South, as frequently happens, fail to
go to the polls and vote, to charge the
southern people with intimidation
and a denial of the franchise to the
negroes. There are none so blind as
those who will not see. The fact is
that every man Of ordinary COM
mon sense and intelligence knows
that there is not shadow of respec-
table foundation for this libel on the
southern people. The only infer
ence that can be drown from its
persistent repetition in the face of
the facts is that the g. o. p. only
intends to convey, by making such a
charge, a suggestion to the stupid
intellects and stolid understanding
of its colored southern dupes, of a
hint to eote, vote early, vote often
and vote late, in the vagne hope of
somehow or other, by some political
hocits pocits or legerdemam to steal the
presidency again by laying hold
on the electoral vote of one of the
southern states.
